A member asked:
Which birth control pills are most effective at preventing ovulation while being easiest side-effect-wise? i don't want fertilized eggs!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: The reason for dozens of BCP preparations is the variation in the individual needs of the women involved. The med must be matched with the individual woman, based on a thorough evaluation and sometimes trial and error to limit side effects.
